  • wrong....what's the point in naming something that attempts to revitalise local livelihoods in a language not their own?
    this very premise is why wehave lost so much and still losing...
    Jallikattu is a tamil word that is universal now! Stick to your guns and name it in Telugu...

    • Yes, Paalagutta would be apt. It has a unique feel to it and sounds generic too. Like Tirunelveli alva or Manaparai murukku. That way anybody from the village can sell these bags anywhere, no? Why create a brand that the entire village cannot own?
      If you want to add a jazzy touch, you can add a caption, the Real Bio Bag or something 🙂

  • "Palagut" bag.
    "Palagut" pickle.
    And so on.
    1. Retains the basic name of the village (and the bag can contain a tag with the full name and its meaning).
    2. It's very simple to call out and remember.
    3. Very distinctive - important for good branding.

    • One more syllable, so slightly more complex to utter and remember.
      I thought keeping it very simple was better. Retain the character (of the village name) but keep it simple enough to just trip off the tongue.
      Gut also sounds like good, subconsciously.
      Try saying it out aloud.
      Pala-Gut
      I prefer it.
      Ask your friends, the workers.
      Also your buyers.

  • PaalaGutta sounds fine. I am just reminded of the Naxalbari village in Bengal and how everybody identified the Maoist movent as Naxal. Just speaking linguistically. This is not the space debate on the movement,😀.

  • Totally different take. How about a brand name like Swaraj? With tag lines of The Village Bag or The Village Pickle and so on. Let it not be just a branding exercise. Let's design a name for revolution - Then these bags are like a badge of honour and a fierce revolutionary statement and action.

  • It has been a fascinating collective trip, this post, the search for a name. For the village bags. From Paalaguttapalle. The varied suggestions, the myriad perspectives we have walked through. Together.
    From the local to the global.
    We never hoped for this level of engagement. The day Arun, Lavanya and Vignesh came home and we wondered what name could be best for the womens bags. Arun suggested, "Post and ask for suggestions."
    I posted.
    Many have advised going local, staying rooted, having a name that makes sense to the actual owners of the bags and of the name. We ourselves veer towards Roots.
    Paalaguttapalle seemed long, but as a friend said, people do know Banganapalle mangoes !
    Hima, from his Jallikattu voyage, was categorical, "Stay local in name, when talking of the Local. Give a Telugu name. Stick to your guns."
    The other thread with 
    Amarendra Srivastava
    Vigneshwaran Karthikeyan
    Arun Kombai
     and myself was remarkable in its tenor. Where everyone started with different positions, and the way the discussions proceeded with each looking at other points of view, and reaching a happy consensus.
    And as Arun rounded it " I am for Paalaguttapalle .They way i see we always surrender to our sentiment and nothing wrong in it 😄
    if branding is the challenge, then lets deal that as challenge. Lets brand only PaalaGuttaPalle.
    Roots pulls us to the roots."
    Thanks to everyone who shared this trip that is really Anita's, Rani's, Annapurna's, Varalu's, Buji's, Roopa's and Lakshmikantha's. They all like the name. It belongs to them.
    As 
    Kannan Thandapani
     said, " And before we think of whether others can pronounce/recall it or not, the villagers should be able to pronounce it and identify with it."
